Now now, stop carriaging on!

Next person to make a train joke is getting kicked right in the caboose.

?Witnesses interviewed at the scene confirmed they were shooting a video for a sports drink, and at no point did Mr. Plitt say he would be running between the rails,? Burbank Police Department officer Joshua Kendrick told TheWrap Wednesday.

Kendrick said on Wednesday that police have now analyzed the footage, and it shows ?he [Plitt] is running on the tracks and specifically between the rails as the Metrolink train is traveling southbound,? Kendrick said.

?As the train approaches, the train conductor sounded its horn. But Mr. Plitt continued to run ? and was struck by the train.?

?Greg was not filming a commercial at the time. He was filming workout video content with a brand he and Shadow own together,? the company said in a statement. ?Greg was a business partner of Shadow Beverage and Snack Company?s Whey UP brand and content that he produced utilized Whey Up. Shadow did not have knowledge Greg would be on the tracks prior to filming.?

Metrolink spokesman Jeff Lustgarten previously told TheWrap the surveillance tape showed Plitt?s death ?was very, very preventable.?

?This was an unauthorized shoot,? he continued, explaining that Plitt?s crew did not have a permit to shoot on Metrolink property. ?Had the proper channels been followed, this would not have happened.?

?When a permit is filed, we normally assign a flagman to the shoot.? The flagman knows Metrolink?s train schedules, communicates with operations and lets the film crew know if a train is coming. However, Lustgarten said none of that happened.

Yeah, but he had a really weird way of running. I mean, that was some crazy loco-motion…

Looks like he got railroaded into helping the company…

He was such an inspiration but his training seemed somewhat reckless, he looked really run down.

I just want to apologize to everyone for my horrid punning. I am sorry, once I get started it is like tourette’s. My mind is just single tracked, I guess…

There are rumors He was into BBC, He kept needing bigger and bigger to get excited. This ladies and gentlemen, is why pornography is dangerous.

Well apparently he didn’t have authorization and was trespassing while filming. Was it the fault of his conduct - or is there something else I don’t know about?

I bet he felt rather tender after the accident.

I’m not sure about that, but the accident certainly derailed his career.
